    Did the same move, nothing else looked like a worthwhile punt except Martial but think he wont start

    Wilson out.

    Edouard in.

    -4.

    One '75% chance of playing' for another. A proper punt.

    Ahh... Just going with the flow.

    Regarding the bench boost potential, I'd definitely recommend holding off for a DGW as others have mentioned.

    Gonna hold out until late as possible for transfers, and they are gonna be team leak dependent really. Risky strategy but it's where I am.

    I want to see if Foden is starting. I'll bring him in for Saka if he is. If not, it will be Stones (or Ake or Akanji).

    But now I am thinking of Zaha instead of Foden, and probably not as risky with server creashes etc. Is he a good option this week or is Edouard fit again and Zaha back on the wing? Rashford & Trossard also in mind.

    If I don't use a wildcard this week do I lose it?

    Is Callum Wilson injured. What are his chances of starting tomorrow.

    I think he just had some illness but it meant he came off early in the last premier league game with low energy levels and was given a bit more rest in the Carabou cup game during the week. No confirmation either way but he was training seperate from the rest of the team during the week according to quotes from the press conference today. I think he will probably play as he is the best centre forward at the club and beating Chelsea would be a serious challenge.

    not a bad week to play the WC if you still have it. it's a second free hit.

    Why, do you have a free wildcard in December, or just a second one after the World Cup to use any time before the end of the season?

    Unlimited transfers during the world cup, so effectively a wildcard. Then a second proper/traditional wildcard from ~GW19 onwards.

    Bound to be a lot of world cup players getting rests this week surely ? Wilson I would be worried about that Southgate will ask Newcastle to wrap him in cotton wool so he doesn't get injured. Could Phil Foden be another?


    I think FunBobby could be a good punt seeing as he missed out on the Brazil squad. He could go all out to show them what they are missing

    Why would any world cup player be rested this week?

    Premier league managers care about 3 points and playing their best players when they want to.

    Pep/Klopp et al will not be resting their players because international managers asked them to(they can't), there's a week between gw16 and matchday 1.

    If anything, I'd be asking all the international managers to rest my players because I'll need them fit and ready for dec 26(not happening).

    Most international managers couldn't care less about points in the pl.

    Some contrasting views this week as expected in a punting week.

    I'm a Wilson owner and agree with Fingers. Confirmation bias probably, but if it's covid (worst case guessing with the WC looming) he'll get the all clear or not and Bailey (for me) or Pereira are good subs.

    I'm not bullish on many predictions this GW bar Bournemouth so Billing, Tavenier and Moore are good enablers imo.

    Do I run the gauntlet again and wait for leaks.... Don't fancy it at all.

    I may just change my GK and bring in Stones. (say)

    What would you do here 2 FTs 2.6M itb


    Ward (Iversen)

    Perisic Tripp Guehi (Neco, Jonny)

    Salah Zaha Foden Saka (Bailey)

    Haaland Jesus Wilson


    Just a thought on transfers tonight. It may be better to let lads rise in price if they're one week punts or is that the beer talking.

    Good luck folks.

    Meh, it's kind of a unique situation really. FTs are completely going to waste if you don't use them.

    I'd definitely change Iverson to another goalkeeper, if only to cater for the 1000/1 shot that the Leicester game gets cancelled for some unknown reason. Sounds like you already know this though. Probably worth bringing in the keeper with best chance of a cs. Allison, Ederson? And then Ward will outscore them anyway!

    Iverson to Allison/Ederson, Guehi to Saliba/Gabrriel coz Arsenal game is 8pm live on Saturday and you can have a beer. Think your £2.6M covers that.

    Kulusevski in for Saka I’m thinking? Might be too punty but I fancy one risk for the last day. Can’t be sure Kulu starts is the biggest risk

    A punt of Foden --> Salah for me 🤣

    Been asleep at the wheel the last couple of weeks. Who would have thought Foden would turn out to be my worst transfer this season. He'll probably bag a brace now but I'd too much money ITB to not go with Salah.


    Everyone captaining Haaland?

    Rashford out Travernier in (for the week)


    No reason except I watched the utd match and Rashford was pretty poor last weekend.

    Probably Haaland out of fear of him hauling, but I know a couple of Manchester journos think he won't start.

    Pulled the trigger on those moves there now. Don't want to risk waiting for team news and ending up with two non-playing strikers because of a crash.
